Surgical scissors are specialized instruments used in medical procedures to cut tissue, sutures, and other materials. They come in various shapes and sizes, designed for specific tasks, such as Mayo scissors for cutting heavy tissue and Metzenbaum scissors for delicate dissection. The blades can be straight or curved, allowing for precision in different surgical environments. These scissors are typically made from stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. They are an essential part of a surgeon's toolkit, often sterilized before use to prevent infection. Proper handling and maintenance of surgical scissors are crucial for effective and safe surgical outcomes.
